From our honourable members of parliament, service delivery and everything Durban, Mervyn who describes himself as a “Proudly South African Durbanite of Indian Origin” has 30 years of stage experience under his belt with performances throughout the country.
Recalling his days when he played on the streets of Durban viz. Victoria, Prince Edward, Queen, Grey, Leopold, Albert and Cross streets.
He says, “As a child I played outside. There was no electronic gadgets to keep us entertained. We had to entertain ourselves hence the interest in dance and comedy”.
Cinema is where he spent most of his time trying to hone his skills which worked perfectly for him.
